Here are the steps to follow:

Brew your espresso or extra strong coffee using your usual method. Then, let it cool down before chilling for at least 1 hour in the fridge.

In the blender, add 1 cup of chilled brewed strong coffee (espresso or coffee), 2 cups of ice cubes, ½ cup of whole milk, and 3 tablespoons of chocolate syrup.

Blend everything together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Add More Flavors
For more flavors, add any of the following:
- For a starbucks bottled mocha taste, add 2 tablespoons of mocha sauce.

Substitutions and Variations
Well, if you’re feeling adventurous, it’s time to experiment! There are a few ways to play around with this recipe and make it your own without changing the essence of what makes it divine. Here are my favorite substitutions and variations to try:
– Change up the mocha sauce: If you want a little different taste or something more budget-friendly, try swapping out the Starbucks bottled mocha for homemade mocha sauce. Mix 1 cup of brewed coffee, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 cup of cocoa powder in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until it becomes smooth.
– Try different flavored syrups: Vanilla syrup is an excellent addition to this recipe; however, you can change things up by experimenting with other flavors such as caramel, hazelnut, peppermint or the seasonal starbucks peppermint mocha syrup or white chocolate. Add two tablespoons of your preferred syrup along with the mocha sauce. Trust me; it will be fantastic!
– Use milk alternatives: There’s no reason why you have to stick with regular milk when making the perfect Mocha Frappuccino. You can use non-dairy substitutes like soy milk, oat milk or almond milk instead. If you’re feeling fancy and decadent, experiment with using coconut cream or almond cream in place of milk.
– Switch up the coffee: Utilize various types of beans from different brands if Starbucks roast coffee isn’t your cuppa tea or maybe you still can’t handle all that caffeine. You can also switch regular coffee for decaf coffee so you can enjoy it during late-night studies
– Play around with the toppings: Try something different as well! Top off your chocolaty concoction with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, caramel drizzle or candy-coated chocolates.
Overall this list is just the beginning of all the possibilities you have to experiment with to personalize a Starbucks copycat recipe. Be creative and trust your taste buds to find what works best for you. Enjoy and savor your homemade Mocha Frappuccino with pride, and remember to share it with your friends!
Serving and Pairing

First things first, if you’re planning on making a big batch of Mocha Frappe to enjoy later, go ahead and double or triple the recipe. The good news is that it stores well in the fridge for up to 24 hours. To store it properly, pour it into an airtight container and pop it in the fridge.
When you’re ready to drink your stored frappuccino, give it a quick stir and add any additional toppings like whipped cream or chocolate syrup before serving. But if you want the real Starbucks experience, don’t forget to top your Mocha Frappe with whipped cream and drizzle chocolate sauce over the top for presentation.
If you’d like to reheat your frappuccino, be sure to let it sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before heating it up. You can either microwave it or warm it up on the stove in a small pot. Make sure not to overheat your frappuccino as this can cause the ice cream to melt and the consistency of the drink will change.
